Through a Fox's Eyes

Chapter 24

[Marvel's POV]

As if getting picked for the games was not bad enough, try having your girlfriend get picked too. Now we're in the games, Emilia and I. And now there's no plan, no plan for her and me. She's got our baby, yeah hard to believe. And now she's in the wild, with a baby in her stomach, without proper health and medicine. And I'm with the Careers, trying to keep her safe. 

That's what I'm doing for the past weeks, misleading the Careers from Emilia. Good thing Cato's got a big grudge on that grl Katniss, for alot of things, and probably because Cato's a big psycho. I'm getting near his "Kill List", and I doubt that I'll beat him. 

We're travelling now, along the woods. Cato's all crazy because someone cleverly made our supplies "boom!" with the mines. i doubt it's Emilia, she's never gonna do something risky like that, we've already talked about it. Stay away from risks, keep safe.

"Are we actually doing any difference?" Clove squeaks. She's braver than me, she can stand up to Cato.

"Argh, if I find the bomber I will grind his insides so bad he'll even hurt even though he's dead." Cato says, whatever that means. He throws his sword at a tree and notices something.

"Mints." Clove says, behind Cato. "Some kind of signal, a sign, don't you think?"

Cato's face is really determined, he runs off, and I think he's hearing something. It's dark, I'm getting worried. Emilia's supposed to go up in a tree now, she should not be wandering now. 

Cato runs and runs, me and Clove try to catch up.

"What the heck is wrong with him?" Clove asks

"If I only know," I say, wheezing. We've been running in terrble speed. 

Cato curses, we reach a burnt campfire. "We've been here earlier!"

He shouts, and kicks a rock in frustration. "Let's just set camp here, and search in the morning."

I arrange my pack. Cato sleeps, and Clove eats a nibble of cracker. I feel hungry so  I reach for my food and eat some beef strips. I drink water and lay down. Emilia's safe for now, I hope she'll stay safe even when I'm gone.

Morning comes so early, I feel Cato's sword on my chin.

"Get up boy, we've got kids to kill." His smile makes me shudder, but I obey quickly. He scares me so much even though I'm taller than him.

We managed to have a meager breakfast. "We scatter, then at sundown, meet at the Cornucopia. Kill as many tributes as you can." Cato orders. I run along the left side, and Clove trudges after Cato. 

I hear some Mockingjays singing. A four note tune? Well it goes on and on, and I know somebody's whistling to the mockingjays, maybe a way of communication, but who?

Just then, a figure rose from the shadows.

A dark streak of hair, curly, and small nimble feet. I chase her, I know her and her strength. Rue, that little girl from Dstrict 11. She's awfully fast, I f I could just bring her into the trap....

I hear her gasp,  did it. I see her inside the net. I know I'm being a jerk, but one less tribute to harm Emilia, so I gotta kill her. She's crying.

"Please, let me go.." 

"Sorry, I want someone else to go home."

She looks at me with a confused look, and she shouts. "Katniss! Katniss!" She screams, and I'm getting frustrated. "Katniss help!" Oh, she's allies with Katniss, so that's why she's still alive.

Just then , someone comes, "Rue!" Katniss shouts. I get my spear ready, Katniss runs to Rue, ignoring me. She gets Rue free, and I knew I was in trouble.

I grab the hilt and throw hard. Rue's stomach gets hit, and I run as fast as I can.

I went away from the clearing, then an arrow sails through my back and I stumble.
